I have a Lembas Bread recipe that's really good:
2.5 cups flour. 1 tbsp baking powder. 1/4 tsp salt. 1 tsp cinnamon. (Stir dry ingredients together) Then, add 1/2 cup melted butter. Mix again. (I found that mixing with my hands was much easier than with a whisk).
Then, add 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, 1/3 cup brown sugar and 1.75 ounces of non melted butter. (The non melted butter should me mixed thoroughly into the rest of the ingredients, I usually use butter sticks and slice them into smaller chunks with a knife before mixing.)
Add 1/2 cup milk and 1 tsp honey. (Note, the honey is used to make the bread sweeter, you can add as much as you want.) Then, mix the ingredients until you have a terracotta colored, tacky to the touch dough.
You can either roll it into a loaf/log if you want it to look like cram, or you can roll it out to a 1/2 inch thickness, cut it into squares and use the flat part of a knife to make an "x" on the top of each square for that iconic Lembas bread look.
Bake it at 425 degrees farenhiet for 10 to 12 minutes.
(Note: I don't know if this is the actual lembas bread recipe from the cookbook, I don't remember where I got this recipe from.)
